Elves Live In The Land      
       Beyond The Great Dam.      
  It  Was  Built In The Late Sixties.   
     The Elves Came To Us  Then.    
                      
                      
 They  Were  Very  Manipulative,  And  We 
 Came To  Trust Them.          Us 
 Kids  Would Play Down At The  Water Even 
 Though We Were Not Allowed.        
    Sometimes  The  Sluice Would  Close 
 Entirely,  And  The  River  At The  Dams 
 Foot  Would Dry Up,  Revealing The Rocky 
 Water   Garden  That  Had  Been   Hidden 
 Beneath, And  We Would Go There.     
       Before  The Dam Opened  Again, 
 There  Would Be A Signal, But  The Elves 
 Would Make  Us Not Hear It, And Suddenly 
 We  Would Find The Water Rising, Already 
 At  Our Knees.               
                      
   By Then The  Elves Would Be  Gone.
